No I'm not saying there should be a 16 team playoff (there should be) but if there were it may look something like this...

Ran an unbiased simulation through ncaagamesim.com. Here are some of the notes for LSU:
Burrow: 109/141 (77%) 1326 passing yards, 15 TDs, 1 INT
Edwards-Helaire: 62 attempts for 347 yards and 2TDs
Davis-Price: 27 attempts for 138 yards and a TD
Justin Jefferson: 35 targets for 590 yards and 8 TDs
Ja'Marr Chase: 16 targets for 165 yards and 3 TDs
Defense held opposing QBs to 85/131 (64%) giving up 8 TDs and forcing 9 INTs


Yes, I'm aware that there's rushing stats for Fournette and Myles Brennan... I just ran the simulation and took down the stats so don't kill me

I'll post the scores of the games below. If you're a big stat nerd like me, enjoy

F that. The entire season as it stands now 8s already a double el8mination playoff.

16 teams would mean teams would start sitting guys the last 2 weeks. Terrible. Even 8 is too many.

Good Lord I'm not advocating for the system. I ran a single elimination tournament to see how the computer thinks we would compete with other teams and how far we could make it. Turns out we did just fine but no please throw a fit about it being too big of a tournament. Im not debating if it should be incorporated, I'm just saying I did it and here's the stats.

I’m sure this is an alter or you just created a new account.... but don’t worry about repeating yourself to fools. You provided info, more than most would, just let it set.
Some of these tough guys will be bragging at work tomorrow about how we would win a 16 team playoff and they have the metrics to prove it... on TDroppings!

Interesting info though, esp for Tiger fans.
